Rocky Point Park 11/20

[Blue Heron]

Arrived at Rocky Point Park at 5:40am in complete darkness with stars and moon included in the package. Met up with Excalibur. It was about 33 degrees, with a very slight wind and calm water. The sunrise was absolutely stunning! Fished till about 10:30am (it got significantly warmer as the morning progressed).
No one (out of 6 anglers) even got a bite, but being present as the sun rose over Hart-Miller Island, was worth the price of getting up at 4am, without even a nibble to show for it. Also when entering the park, got to see a gray fox chasing his intended breakfast, (Excalibur I forgot to tell you), which unfortunately for him was a very swift, extremely coordinated rabbit. I was rooting for the rabbit and the rabbit won. Excalibur I enjoyed fishing with you. 50% of the pleasure I receive from fishing is just being there.

Wish I was there with ya Heron. I fished today up in Philly on Schukill (sp?) River...long day trip and just got back. Nothing to brag about, few cats and carps with a regional fella I work with. Supposed to be a bit o warming coming...maybe try again at RP.

It was nice to meet up w/ someone else from the board. Thanks for taking the time out to post a report.

On the bright side, even though we caught no fish, it did turn out to be a terrific day for taking the kids to the playground.

By the way a belated, "It was nice fishing with you Excalibur". Thanks for the info on the battery heated socks. It catalyzed me into doing a Google on it. I learned that Dick's has them. I'll try there first, otherwise Cabelas will be hearing from me.

And chesapeakecarper a belated, "I'm sure we would have enjoyed your company".
